Ethnic Studies

Senior History: Ethnic Studies is an in-depth look at how American civics and current world problems impact student lives with a special emphasis on social justice. In this year long course, students will explore how power influences the historical interaction of race, economics, and law at the individual, community, and national level. Students analyze how their identity and culture is impacted by economic principles and law differently with the ultimate goal of empowering students to share their voice within their community.
